SOPA SUCKS

But I cant help but wonder what percentage of the opposition was for the danger to websites and what was the number for those that just hope to keep it easy to pirate content.

Those that just want to make sure they can do that stuff are going to be disappointed when they just edit a few lines and pass it almost like it is now.

Congress is technologically tone-deaf, but they can work legalese like a bastard.

These laws would have little impact on the technically sophisticated, but would impact dumb teenagers and other casual users.

As for the fear it would take down FR, who knows? But since many people here are technically sophistcated, we would just reappear in a more secret and secure part of the internet.
